3. With the end of the adjustable square just
touching the tip, lock the square in place.
Now, mark the carbide tip with a marker
where you made this measurement.
4. Rotate the marked blade tip to the other end
of the table insert.
5. Slide the adjustable square down to the other
end of the table insert, and compare the dis-
tance from the marked blade tip to the end of
the adjustable square.
— If the blade tip does not touch the end of
the adjustable square similar to the first
measurement, the table will need to be
adjusted. Proceed to Step 6.
—If the blade tip measurement is the same
on both sides, go to Step 7.
6. To adjust the table, loosen the four cap
screws in the table mounting locations (see
Figure 113) and slightly tap the table in the
needed direction. Repeat Steps 2–5 until the
blade and miter slot are parallel.
7. Tighten the table mounting cap screws in a
criss-cross, alternating manner.
The saw blade is dangerously sharp. Use
extra care or wear gloves when handling
the blade or working near it.

Your table saw will give the best results if the
miter slot and the rip fence are adjusted paral-
lel to the blade. If either of these are not exactly
parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be
lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of
kickback will be increased. Take the time to adjust
your table saw properly. A few minutes now will
be time well spent.
To adjust the blade parallel to the miter slot:
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Use an adjustable square to measure the
distance from the miter slot to a carbide tip
on the blade, as shown in Figure 112. Make
sure that the face of the adjustable square is
even along the miter slot.
